FAQs
How does what3words work for buildings of more than one floor?
A what3words address works for ground level, just like a street address. Simply give the what3words address for the building entrance, then add the floor and flat or office information. For example, what3words HQ is at ///filled.count.soap on the third floor, Studio 301.
How are what3words addresses checked to ensure they are entered correctly?
what3words’ AutoSuggest technology helps spot and correct mistakes by displaying location information alongside the what3words address, as well as suggestions for what you may have intended to enter.
What’s wrong with street addresses?
Even in countries where addressing works okay, it’s far from perfect. For example: there are eight different Lonsdale Roads around London, a lot of houses don’t have numbers, and an address can’t tell you the correct entrance to a large building.
